Kita-Sendai Station opened on 29 September 1929 as a stop on the newly opened Senzan East Line between Sendai and Ayashi, in what was then Nanakita Village, close to the boundary with the City of Sendai. The settlement was annexed by the City of Sendai in 1931, putting the station inside the city. From 1937 the Sendai City Tramway's Kita-Sendai Line connected the area to downtown Sendai, while the Sendai Railway's terminus relocated to Kita-Sendai in exchange for the abolition of the Tōrimachi–Kita-Sendai segment. The Sendai Railway abandoned its line from Kita-Sendai to Kami-Nakaniida in 1956, and the city tramway's Kita-Sendai Line closed on 1 April 1969. JR East took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, and the Sendai Subway Namboku Line station opened nearby on 15 July 1987.

A wooden station building completed in 1929 is still in use, and as of October 2021 it was the only station on the Senzan Line within Miyagi Prefecture still to have a Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office.
